And, if so, how did you hear about it? I'm finally getting my websites updated and am planning on doing some advertising. Genii seems like my most logical choice as it seems to fit my target demographic (older- not old, mind you, appreciative of art, willing to buy them a gifts, etc.) but am wondering if there's other routes I should be looking at as well...

I have one. I bought it from you a year ago at Kramien's Jamboree. It sits in my office at work. I don't know how you would advertize to them but I always thought one potential outlet would be to corporations. They would make great sales and executive presents. Kind of a trophy with a theme that the salesman was able to "accomplish the impossible".

No, I don't own one. However my best friend Zach does. It is amazing. I love it. Right now It is probably on display in his house while he is in Japan for the next two years. It is definitely a talking piece.

That tends to not work out too well. For example, who wants to be told that Hannah Montana's going away soon and that the second of this season's Dr Who episodes is going to be a tough one to sit through?

Would you be okay receiving requests for paperback books in bottles, or maybe hardbacks for collectors?

I got one of these bottles from Jamie right about Thanksgiving. When my mother-in-law came down for Thanksgiving dinner, I gave it to her, because she had been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. I wanted her to have the inspiration an impossible object can give someone.

I can't say that the bottle made the cancer go away. But the surgery did. The person who diagnosed it as stage 4 was wrong. It was stage 2, which is much easier to deal with.

She has pulled through quite well, and she is going to be with us for several more years.

i have put a matchbox, a potato chip, and a baseball in bottles. you can view them at www.SquarePegRoundHole.multiply.com in the impossibottleties photos. while you are there check out the magic tricks on the video section. if you want to do a little bottle art of your own they have some great tutorials on www.folkartinbottles.com

Jamie,visited your site, loved the AIP and the one inch campains. Even an inch of encouragemet can help sometimes. You should have a web link or blog link posted on the inch, Or put the "one inch" tag line for your web page and have a bunch of folks hit it for you so it puts you on the top of the google search list.
Just picked up two softballs signed by Dot Richardson, 2x USA gold shortstop, to put in bottles. going to send em to St Judes to be auctioned for cancer patients

I've been so lucky with the "AIP" bottle sales, that I really feel a true sense of joy whenever I leave one on the streets or, in this year's example, give one out. It's important, I feel, from an artistic standpoint.
